More like "Wait 2 more months, Nymranda/Dengaroo/Triple Jumps/etc may get fixed then"

And it was more a response to all the people saying the flexible point cost would be a panacea. It'll help, but it'll still be FAQ-like.

It’ll be faq-like, but your cards are more likely to read as written, just cost more.

also, regularly reviews doesn’t mean they can’t make ‘emergency’ decisions, but but every 3 months probably means actions inbetween aren’t very necessary.

MB: Clearly, you're talking about Luke (Gunner). Obviously, this card has been contentious. There are a number of interesting factors at play in the design of this card, some of which people have picked up on and others we want to highlight here:

1). Some cards are calibrated more for certain modes of play than others. Luke (Gunner) is a great example of a card that is targeted—and costed toward—use at the casual level. It helps new players get a handle on the mechanics of turrets, but rewards them for “proper” use of the rotate action and good flying (because they can spend the Force point on modifications instead of rotation). However, its high cost means that taking it at a tournament level probably isn’t optimal for many builds.

2). Speaking of cost, one thing that has changed enormously in Second Edition is the thought process behind costing upgrades. Simply put, upgrades can cost a lot more than they did before. Previously, individual upgrades only very rarely cost more than 10-20% of a ship’s cost. Now, an upgrade that brings as much benefit as an inexpensive ship (such as Luke (Gunner)) will cost as much as an inexpensive ship.

3). Many people have pointed this out, but it bears repeating: Luke (Gunner) interacts differently with the core conceit that flying ships is important, but it doesn’t invalidate it, because Luke (Gunner) is always better if you don’t need to use his ability to rotate the turret, which you accomplish by flying your ship correctly.

4). Finally, and this gets most to your point, one thing people haven’t picked upon as much is that Luke (Gunner) fits in very closely with the mechanical theme of the Force in Second Edition. The Force allows characters to do things that would normally be “impossible” (yes, even for a computer). Force powers and Force user characters get to do things nobody else can—but they have to choose which tricks they want to be able to do, and they pay for this flexibility in points.

It's really hard to destroy a community in 3 months. It would take like full power nym miranda being discovered a week before store champs start

Also I'd edit but it's worth it's own post:

A set schedule is the absolute best thing they can do.

"I hate the meta, I'm not playing until it's changed" now has a designated date. I could have dealt with miranda nym if I knew it would only last a month.

Hey it’s the high schooler. Get rekt

FB: We felt that certain effects (such as Ion and Stress) become incredibly negative play experiences in large quantities. We want to keep a cap on these effects and are carefully dishing them out.

MB: Ideally, we would like to see Ion, Jam, Tractor, and other de-buff effects as part of a toolbox of options that a list has, but not as the defining feature of a list. We have calibrated them and costed them as such.

MB: Players really like dice modification effects, but too many dice modifications that don’t require particular conditions or flight patterns make the game less healthy overall. Dice randomness might feel bad in the moment, but dice certainty makes for a weak game experience overall. So, to this point, we wanted to make sure that you can still get dice mod effects, but you have to engage with the core activity of the game to get them or they cost some sort of diminishing resource. You'll notice a lot of dice modifications (like Predator) are now restricted to the bullseye arc, or are now charge-based like Elusive.

@Kaptin Krunch, which is better? Cap'n Crunch, Peanut Butter Crunch, Crunch Berries, or Oops! All Berries?

There is a correct answer, and this is a test, you are being evaluated.

I think it depends on my mood. Cap'n Crunch is my favorite cereal.

The classic is often the best, because there's no other tastes to get in the way of all the Crunchy goodness. There's oats and brown sugar in the normal little water-wing thingies so they're the most "sophisticated" taste.

Crunch Berries is kind of the traditional favorite. It's like the Cherry Garcia of Cap'n Crunch.

Oops! All Berries is too sweet for me, and lacks a lot of that normal awesome Cap'n Crunch flavor, but if I want a "desert" cereal it's an ok choice.

And everything is better with peanut butter.

Why? Is your favorite Oops! All Berries?

Also need to up our post count so that someone else sees this thread, with the "hot!" tag, sitting on top of all the Lando's Falcon threads, and thinks

"oh, are they discussing the Falcon too?"

"maybe I'll go check"

"They're talking about cereal? What?!?"

Crunch Berries is a good choice

GoLean is a terrible choice. There's way better health cereals at Whole Foods or Vitamin Cottage

My username is what I named my Ork Warboss in 40k. It was a heavily modified Ghazghkull with bits taken from WHFB savage orcs.

I still remember the loadout-

Mega Armor, Da Lucky Stikk, Cybork Body, Bosspole (135)

Kaptin Krunch punched many a Tau Crisis Suit Commander or Space Marine Captain to death, and absorbed fire for 100's of Boyz to help them get across the board.

Were you born with such terrible taste, or did you do to yourself on purpose?

Just eat cheerios or something at that point.

Or eat sticks and leaves from the ground. It tastes the same, and that ****'s free.

Are there actually? I like GoLean because of the protein and fiber content.

@skotothalamos - He can be a commander but captain of a vessel of some sort... It's a thing that could happen... I've never seen his ship though, so is that a lie too?

The sticks don't taste that bad...

Fiber is great for you and I can always use more protein.
